Mindful Eating

A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship with Food

De: Jan Chozen Bays, Jon Kabat-Zinn - foreword

Narrado por: Jan Chozen Bays, Kaleo Griffith

The art of mindfulness can transform our struggles with food - and renew our sense of pleasure, appreciation, and satisfaction with eating. Drawing on recent research and integrating her experiences as a physician and meditation teacher, Dr. Jan Bays offers a wonderfully clear presentation of what mindfulness is and how it can help with food issues.

Mindful eating is an approach that involves bringing one's full attention to the process of eating - to all the tastes, smells, thoughts, and feelings that arise during a meal. Whether you are overweight, suffer from an eating disorder, or just want to get more out of life, this book offers a simple tool that can make a remarkable difference.

In this audiobook, you'll learn how to:

• Tune into your body's own wisdom about what, when, and how much to eat
• Eat less while feeling fully satisfied
• Identify your habits and patterns with food
• Develop a more compassionate attitude toward your struggles with eating
• Discover what you're really hungry for

Great ideas to help a personal journey with Mindful Eating

I’m going to listen to this a few times until Mindful Eating becomes a practice for my everyday life. My therapist recommended this book.

Life changing

Mindful practices for every day, love love this book and listen to it often for a refresher. Helped me better understand and put into practice mindfulness and meditation.

Great Mindful Eating Educational Book!!

I enjoyed listening to the audible book mindful eating. It has opened my mind to things that I never thought about prior to listening. I will use this information to help me achieve my goals for healthy eating lifestyle.

Good book - Poor reading performance

As usual - don’t let author read the book. Very choppy machine like delivery. You eventually get used to it but its annoying. Some good content - some poor advice.

Much needed wisdom to return to us

The author was so intentional about sharing this gem with us. So helpful. I took notes and posted them in my kitchen. 🫁

Good stuff

I found this book very insightful and it fit right in to my mindfulness practices. The author does read slowly, but on 1.5x speed, it was perfect. I appreciated the soothing quality, almost like the book itself is a meditation. I wish the exercises were easier to mark, because I wasn’t able to practice them while listening, and not all of them are available at Shambhala. I’m considering buying a hard copy or Kindle édition in addition so I can review parts I especially found insightful.

Life-changing!

Mindful Eating has MANY golden nuggets in it. The concepts are simple but powerful. Many of the ideas were new to me or got me thinking in either slightly or drastically different ways.
This book has truly shifted the way I look at and consider food (& more). I love that this book helped me become more aware of and observe my life and choices - not in a judgmental way, simply in a way that opens up my awareness and helps me have clarity and choice, hence freedom.
We aren't free until we have knowledge & choice.
Simple & profound!

The next level of Intuitive Eating

This is not another book about intuitive eating. It's so much more. As someone who's spent my adult life stuck in the diet loop, and who has read all the best selling books about diet, nutrition, intuitive eating and mindfulness, I found this book to be the most complete collection of useful facts, tools and insights for effectively changing one's relationship to food.

Fantastic info, great narration

A humorous, non-judgmental approach to finding balance with nutrition and beyond. I will be listening to this one again just because I found it a relaxing meditation of sorts.

Life changing

For anyone who has struggled with food or is raising a child who struggles with food, this book is life changing.
